Actually, this piece of art was supposed to be an entry for a Pokemon competition, but I missed the deadline unfortunately... ~.

Well, in the end, I could not leave it unfinished, so what you see here is the final and second version.

The actual task was to draw/paint oneself in the Pokemon world. (Yep, I am depicted there 'D)

As the title of the picture already implies, I also wanted to transport one feeling of mine - the feeling when I always create different/new worlds in my head since real life is so damn bleak and brings commonly more sorrow than anything good instead. Yeah, those "mind games" and of course my art help me to bear life with all its burdens - it's an escape .

I hope you guys understand what I mean 'D.

Anyway, this picture was pretty difficult to paint (many characters, many textures, etc.) and all in all it took me about 4 days.

If you cannot identify every Pokemon, here is a short list: Lugia, Steelix, Mew, Charizard, Mudkip.

for realistich pokemon i sure do love it i got to say that character look perfect i also like the whole background as well (nice collors too ) for lugia nice work on the feathers and charizard looks good too. mew isnt bad but i think his cheeks are a bit too (thick ) or how do you say that but he sure is fine too. so all by all its nice done and really well made i would not be able to do it better also charizards fire looks great done so keep up the good work you did here and keep impressing us

Overall this is a really nice composition. The poses are well done and you did a wonderful job with the Pokemon (granted, this does come from someone who doesn't know them very well). The textures are simply amazing and it's nice to see so much variation in one piece. The one problem I do see is that the shadows don't quite have enough contrast, but that doesn't take away from the overall look of the piece.The centering, however, looks a little strange to me. It seems off-balance due to so much white in the upper half. However, overall, this is an amazing piece. The colors, the poses, and the expressions make it very fun and whimsical.
